Welcome

You found us, great. From this site you have access to our teaching materials here at the University of Texas at Austin for the study of Portuguese. As we develop instructional technology for our students at UT we are happy, in fact we think of it as our mission, to share everything with other institutions and the general public. Keep coming back because we seem to be adding new content all the time. Our philosophy is that all materials should be shared with everyone, with open access and without cost or password restrictions.

The Brazilpod portal was developed under grant #P229A100014 and #P229A140005 from the U.S. Department of Education. However, those contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the U.S. Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government.
